Nevertheless, with the growth and evolution of the industry, these challenges are further intensified by rising competition, the emergence of new or spinoff Contract Research Organizations (CROs) and vendors, diverse perspectives on technology utilization, and evolving patient expectations, among various other factors.

Among these challenges, risk mitigation appears to be the most straightforward approach: identifying risks and taking steps to minimize or eliminate them. However, the effectiveness of clinical trial risk mitigation largely relies on the knowledge and timing of information available to investigators.
